What a neat product. It's a (baby)step in the right direction. Just a few concerns that I have with "hype " like that are things like " turned into sunglasses in an Italian factory on September 25 before getting shipped back stateside in December", how did it get there and back and how did that remain carbon neutral? Same with "while the leather material is 51 percent PHB, the rest being natural and synthetic rubber" that leaves 49% that is "natural and synthetic" and most certainly carries a pretty good carbon footprint. As for the "synthetic rubber" it is long proven that the synthetic rubber manufacturing process is highly polluting thus contributing to the global warming. Should have stuck with natural rubber which is actual better (not great but better than synthetic) for our environment. We need to find ways to stop our usage of plastic products and stop tossing it in the landfill. We must recognize that it is our responsibility, to not purchase products that are a danger to our climate. Companies...

@danj no ghosting issues. Just a comment by Saransh Dhar that was left to a non-answer which has since been deleted.

@mayer @evanga2so okay so who broke this? There was a decent explanation for what may have happened and what is currently going on in Moderation :-) but it disappeared. iRobot? @danj ? @evanga2so ? Who dunn it .....;-) Anyhow, @mayer take a look on here Just wondering what's going on in Moderation :-? and check the answer by @krisrodriguez . Looks like somebody has a big job ahead of themselves and I am sure that some of our answers will disappear and thus our rep count change. Collateral damage which comes with a good house cleaning. I don't think there was any maliciousness indented. LMAO Czar of Down Voting. I thought we already had one of those ;-) Thank you all and stay safe please.

@amber this one https://www.ifixit.com/User/4001333/lowe... would like you to answer his survey….

@danj sorry you feel that way “There is a point you can go to far! “ it was not my intention to go to far :-) I really was not focused on that particular question, user or interaction but it brought up an interesting (to me) point. As a person who post quite a lot of images (not all come from manuals:-) I starting thinking that may be I really should give credit to the folks that have created the images I use. I am not saying in any kind of APA style or things like that, but may be just a “hey thanks for the image I just used” Again, may be I just make it my own preference depending on what it is. I just wanted to get your (all of you) ideas on where you stand with that.

@amber @jogihara @kristen @danj @mayer @pollytintop @jayeff @nick @oscarsp to be honest I wasn’t really to focused on the specifics of this user and their beef on that question. I am also not talking copyright etc. I was thinking in way more general terms. If I need to find an image of a board to point out a part and take it from let’s say an eBay seller, would it not be fair enough (or respectful ;-) to somehow credit this person/site etc.? Of course I totally agree with not cropping or altering the image to remove credentials. I guess I just have to find out what will work for me ;-) Just wanted to see what you all thought of it.

@amber looks like Shelia has overstayed her welcome. Time to go https://www.ifixit.com/User/3967268/Shel...

Unless we radically change our way of thinking there will be no real change. As great and as fast as the development of new battery technology is, Lithium is going to be the next new oil as has been long predicted. from 2020 and here in 2015 We are doing nothing but substituting one non-renewable substance for another. There will be a big shift in geopolitical powers but no change for us or our planet. Absolutely will we have less immediate pollution but in the long run we will have done wrong again. What do we think lithium mining looks like and what it does to the environment? It is going to continue to be Profit before People/Planet :-( Time to rethink what we are doing and may be we need to consider using Baghdad Batteries to power the next model iPhone.

@amber seems to me like this one https://www.ifixit.com/User/3402023/Cass... needs to pack up her minitools and move on

@amber https://www.ifixit.com/User/Activity/823... time for the battery man to get discharged. Had some decent answer couple years ago but ran out of juice…… Just noticed @nick and I may have been working on the same situation
